• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, it brings into question the process of law making and whether it involves adequate amount of public participation. Probably, the sentiments of the Committee that handled this matter received adequate representation from the public. They may have alluded to the fact that the amendment as proposed by the President could as well hurt the general business and so in that event, we must again look at how we can remedy the situation. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thirdly, I totally agree with the reservations by the President. I say so from two obvious points. One, the agent’s relationship involves the principal and the client. It is the principal who is liable and responsible for the risks or the contract he or she is assuming. The agent merely acts The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

So, in this event, I do not think the amendments proposed by the President will kill the agency relationship and the brokerage business unless we are assuming that the brokers have been receiving income other than the commission that is due to them. In any particular respect, take the example of an estate agency. One receives payment for sale, but in the name of the seller and not the agent. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: So, I sincerely believe there are adequate safeguards such that if the insurer does not pay the agreed commission to the broker, then there is a penalty. The only challenge is that the process of recovering the money seems to be tedious. One has to go through the policy holder’s fund which may take long. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: In conclusion, I want the Executive to rethink this issue. If in the event we pass the Finance Bill that imposes insurance on motor cycles, then the insurance industry must find ways and means of ensuring that premium reaches them from far flung areas probably in a cost- effective manner than forcing them to travel to their head offices to pay or payments done in a system that is difficult to reflect. However, we do not want to undermine and demean the work of insurance brokers. They play a critical role on reaching the insured and following up in the ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the onset, let me sincerely thank you for having given me an opportunity to serve a Mediation Committee. Being a first timer, it was such an illustrative learning process. I will come to that much later. Let me make it clear that, indeed, the issues concerning land use and the environment are so critical to the national development and welfare of this country. They require to be given utmost consideration and commitment in terms of drafting of legislations and regulations to manage the same. On that account, the Physical Planning Act has metamorphosed over many ... view

• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was surprised that, to justify their hardliner position, The Senators went all over the streets of Nairobi picking non entities, quacks, lay bouts and busy bodies to come and justify that instead of talking about physical planning, we should talk about land use planning.

Going forward, I hope the Government, in fullness of time, will come up with a separate Bill to address the fears that were raised by ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the list of nominees presented by the Committee. It is time we rewarded hard working public servants who have grown through the ranks, having demonstrated competence and ability to serve. However, as we have always said, future appointments must reflect the face of Kenya. We have always asked for this audit. The list presented before the House does not reflect the face of Kenya, but since they are all Kenyans, I support the approval of the nominees. Thank you. view
